Long since retired from the show ring and leaving trails of slobber all around the arena, over himself and Mel, the drool factory in Marks mouth is still firing on all cylinders… 🤣

Denmark Endurance Ride

Last weekend Tash & Joe (S Bellagio) made the trek down to the south coast of WA for the Denmark ride.

Fridays rain made the 84km track along the Heritage trail perfect for riding on. Tash & Joe along with their “Crossed the Line” team mates Tegan on Nital & Charli on Shadow finished the ride in 7hrs 10mins.

With fantastic logbook results and a successful completion Joe finish 1st HW and was awarded Best Conditioned HW.

Sponsorship is key for any event and we’d like to acknowledge The Roving Vet for our beautiful hand made cutting board and WAERA for Joes Best Conditioned rug.

Thank you to Ride Organisers Lisa and Pete who faced many challenges to even get the ride on, and the vets and volunteers (some who travelled from Perth) to help.

As always Joe is supported by M Equestrian and TuffRock Australia
making sure he is able to perform at his best.

Cardiff Endurance Ride

The 2025 season kicked off last weekend with Tash & Joe (S Bellagio) heading south to the Talison Lithium Cardiff ride.

Starting at 2am to beat the heat, Tash & Joe had a relaxing ride around the 80km course finishing 3rd HW.

However the highlight for this ride was Tash ticking over 10000km of successful completions after 20yrs in the sport.

Records show all bar 160km have been on Sundale horses, none of which were bred for the sport, instead finding their purpose in it.

S Neptune -5360km
S Bellagio - 3627km
S Danikah - 486km
S Dahki Sadeek -240km
S First Edition - 160km
Murungah Chandon - 80km
Gandalf The Grey - 80km

A massive shout out to event sponsors Talison Lithium your support of the ride is greatly appreciated. Thank you to the Ride Organisers and volunteers, without you we would have no rides.

Summer weather in Perth = beach training sessions each weekend and why wouldn’t you when it looks like this.

Joe and Paris love it down there each weekend. Today they had boats moored in shallow water, people swimming the length of beach with then and even the dolphins came for a visit
